- Craters Tamm and nearby Van Den Bos are noticeable on several of Apollo 17's oblique northward looking Fairchild frames in REV 27.
Of Apollo 17's REV 27, frame AS17-M-0853 shows the couple Tamm and Van Den Bos immediately north-northeast ("to the right") of Marconi (the pronounced crater a bit leftward of the frame's centre). Both craters (Tamm and Van Den Bos) seem to have quite a "crackled" floor.
- The southeastern part of Tamm's rim (with the distinct craterlet on the inner side of it) was captured near the lower margin of Apollo 14's Hasselblad photograph AS14-72-9951.
